Again, I'm doing research on Quantrill's men. The only thing I have on David Wade is that he was from Clay County and in the 1860 Census it showed him as a 41 year old farmer that was born in Virginia. In 1864, he went with Frank James (who could've been a neighbor of Wade's), to join William "Bloody Bill" Anderson. Keep in mind that Anderson and Quantrill were two very different guerrilla leaders, different yet motivated by the same thing....greed. There were also a Samuel Wade and Newton Wade from Gallatin, Clay Co who could have been a relative of Dave's. Samuel was at Centralia battle in Sept 1864, and was killed in May of 1865; and Newton was killed at the battle of Fayette Sept 1864 (before Centralia). No record of David Wade surrendering or when he died. You could probably try records in Gallatin (the site of one of the James' gang's bank robberies) or Clay Co records. Hope this helps
